That way I can tailor it to suit the sensitivity of the equipment I have connected, this is a really useful feature if you also have backup generators that may produce voltage slightly outside normal specifications
Some really cool features of the SMT1500 that I like are:1
They have a long life and excellent reporting feature set.
It has self diagnostics that runs on intervals to keep the battery capacity meter accurate and a really nice Plug setup feature (see below) plus adjustable voltage trip points along with a slew of other menu options.2) I can assign different plugs on the rear of the UPS to have different priority for reserve power.
But if you realize that this is, in my opinion, nothing more than a few lawnmower batteries packed tightly inside a metal case, with some supporting electronics and a fancy display, you'll see that you're only buying a few minutes of up-time upon power failure, and reliability of these devices has proven to me to be equal less than that of the desktop PCs we use in these locations

It has pure sine wave output on the battery, energy saving green features, temperature compensated battery charging that is supposed to extend battery life, and it runs cool and quiet
It simulates utility power to the network to give a pure sine wave output.
The SMT 1500RM2U is a pure sine wave Smart UPS with a voltage output that is cleaner than any voltage you will get from your utility company, we have checked this with our oscilloscopes at work and believe me the voltage output is perfectly clean and the UPS will keep a rock steady output to all devices connected to it with protection from spikes and dips happening even in a fraction of a microsecond

It gives you more than enough time to shut everything down and still has enough power to power the phone system and keep the settings alive
At three years the batteries are still good, and random tests/logs show they are keeping clean power to the machines (and home theater equipment), and shut down the PCs as expected
